It may be one of the most underrated Oasis tune, ever, imo. One of the best Noel's melody combined with one of the best Liam's performance, it is definitely among my top 15, and even sometimes in my top 10. A great, great tune.

An excellent track and one of Liam's best performances indeed. It wouldn't probably fit in my personal top 15 but only because Oasis gave us so many great songs in the '90s.

Would YOU have knocked Wonderwall off MG for this amazing song?

It's an ASTOUNDING track. I don't think there's one Oasis fan who dislikes it. Noel's meaningful lyrics, Liam's emotional, heart-strung delivery. The melancholy yet wistful/hopeful combination that Noel is famous for done to perfection. And it's Oasis right to the core. Brilliantly beautiful, and beautifully brilliant. I'd love to see a write up by Cast and/or Headmaster on this one.

Also - Fun Fact: For the longest time I thought the lyric was "I don't care, you're out of tune" hahaha

It took me a long time to see the beauty of this song, but one day it just clicked.
Love everything about it. It's really different.
I wouldn't kick off Wonderwall in favour of this though.

I wouldn't change anything about WTSMG's tracklist, in the same situation as DM. Rockin' Chair was simply another case of Noel writing too many class songs that bands would kill to have on their albums.

This is definitely an example of classic noel song that seriously needs to find its way into the setlist from time to time to shake things up a bit.
I'm very happy to say I heard it live in 2010 at the Royal Albert Hall, the crowd went mental.

It's definitely in my top 10 Oasis songs. I really love it and everything about it, the vocals, the lyrics and the whole atmosphere, which is somehow special, I can't explain why, it seems kind of desperate to me.

Is it possible to rock too much on a rocking chair?

Is it possible to rock too much on a rocking chair? You don't rock out to Rockin' Chair, you wally. You sit there and stroke (no not your cock) your beard to and ponder the meaning of life.

It's utterly, utterly brilliant.
For some reason, I was an Oasis fan a whole year before I listened to the Masterplan compilation record in full, and even when I did, it was only because I was going through a difficult time and knew I needed some new music to listen to to keep my mind off things. Had no idea whether any of the tunes barring Acquiesce, Half The World Away and The Masterplan were any good, because it was in those happy days before I became hopelessly addicted to the internet, as I am now, where I far too often let the opinion of others dictate what kind of music I should listen to. Anyway, I put it on and was obviously blown away by the general quality of the songs, as all who aren't writers for Rolling Stone magazine would be, but what really caught my attention, was the way the music and Liam's bombastic vocals disguised some potentially quite mournful lyrics, dealing with being alone and feeling suppressed by your surroundings. Listen Up is a great example of this, but the more melancholy tone of Rockin' Chair always appealed to me more, because of the quite miserable mood I was in at the time. And yet, it being 90s Oasis, it was never meant to be a tune to wallow in self pity to; there's an underlying tone of sadness there, sure, but there's also a real beauty to it, and even a sense of defiance in the way Liam belts out those lyrics (which, by the way, I know they were probably just written to rhyme, but it's scary how much sense they made to me at the time) that helped - and I know it sounds sickly and over-sentamnetal, but whatever - me deal with the shit that those few months of my life served up.
Having said all of the above, there is no way the tune should've been on Morning Glory instead of Wonderwall, as far as I'm concerned.

It just doesn't fit on WTSMG tbh.
Good tune though, makes you feel nostalgic.

The first time I cried during a song was this song.
I used to love it, but now I used to skip it. It's a shame that Liam couldn't handle this one (& Listen Up) live.
